hellotailor:“In earlier episodes, Lorca’s interest in Michael was weird but not obviously romantic. Now he’s shown his true colors, their relationship feels like a parable for a certain workplace dynamic. Namely, “Don’t let creepy men steal your power.”Lorca loves Michael but not as an equal. He wants to use her skills to bolster his own achievements. Fully aware that she’s not interested, he manipulates her into a position where she owes her life to him. This was already (subtextually) the case from episode 3, when he rescued her from prison and offered her a chance at redemption. He tried to position himself as her only route to salvation, but as Michael regained her confidence, she never really fell under his spell.“– Star Trek: Discovery recap 1x13: “What’s Past is Prologue.” -- source link
